Sports bar with big crowd near USC gets visit from sheriff's deputies

COLUMBIA, SC -- A large crowd at a sports bar near Williams-Brice Stadium got the attention of the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.

Images circulating online showed a large crowd of University of South Carolina students gathering at the TLC Sports Bar and Grill on Thursday night.

Those reports induced a visit by sheriff’s deputies around 11:30 p.m. Thursday. Law enforcement was concerned the business was not operating under COVID-19 restrictions limiting capacity and requiring business patrons to wear masks.
